About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The estate lies in the heart of Grave del Friuli. Modern vineyard practices are used, with yields kept low to produce balanced wines.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the second half of September. Maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation take place in stainless-steel tanks, with periodic délestage. Malolactic fermentation follows.

Ageing

The wine matures in oak barrels and in bottle for at least two months.
